: i second that.i'd like to add a liottle extra support under my 71.i understand its pretty simple if you find the corrct connectors.also are these bolted or welded on.im assuming welded would be best.
I got mine from Chassis Engineering, they weld on between the two sub frames. In most cases, you should use a mig wire welder because the sub frames are pretty thin metal. I think I've seen some that bolt on, but can't remember where. My Mav is a drag car and the connecters are a must. My youngest son races a 78 Fairmont and he made his connectors from square tubing and they work fine, but for the average person without proper equipt, spend the 100 bucks and get the ready made ones. They do take the flex out of the chassis on HARD accelleration or cornering like in road racing etc. For a normal street car they really are'nt necessary. Just my opinion.
